What if light parties had 3 DPS instead of two?

Make friends with people and that problem ceases to exist.

That's a workaround and not a solution to the underlying problem. What exactly is it you're advocating there? No friend / FC mate wants to run leveling at the moment, so just don't bother leveling?

You do realize that the shorter dps queue mentality will then draw even more people to queue as a dps... half the reason people queue as tank and healer is for the shorter queues... so it will just balance back out to longer dps times again but with fewer tanks and healers

That's not entirely true as evidenced by the precedence of content that includes more DPS players. However, it completely didn't help that SE allowed for materia removal on gear which undercut the incentive for people to be the adventurer in need for leveling roulette.

There is no solution to the problem of there being an overabundance of dps players. Everything suggested is a "workaround." Your friends dont wanna do leveling roulette right now? Wait til later or queue solo, not that hard.

You know that "there is no solution" is blatantly false when it comes to reducing queue times, so I don't think there's anything to be gained in further discussion when you have no imagination for how a developer could solve a basic problem such as this.

/eyeroll
theres no reasonable solution to reducing dps queue times. 3 dps per dungeon is not going to reduce queue time by any substantial amount and most people would rather dev time go to new content rather than rebalancing old dungeons.
